However, conventional medicine is not the approach we need to prevent, treat, and reverse chronic disease.

It is definitely not the best approach to treat depression, autoimmune disease, diabetes, arthritis, gut dysfunctions or any other chronic condition.

It’s more important now than ever before to understand Conventional Medicine’s inherent incompetence when it comes to these chronic diseases because despite all the advancements in medicine today, we are in the midst of the worst chronic disease epidemic in human history.

Even if you’re happy with the fact that a particular drug makes you feel a certain way or lowers your blood pressure, it may be impossible to understand what other effects that drug is having on your body.

Drugs don’t just suppress your symptoms, they also suppress functions.

NSAIDs (non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs) are a good example of what I’m talking about.

Many people take these over-the-counter medications to cope with joint pain, arthritis, and inflammatory conditions.

NSAIDs are effective for alleviating pain, but they also reduce blood flow to your cartilage.

Your blood carries all the nutrients your body needs to be healthy and also carries powerful immune substances vital for tissue repair.

So while NSAIDs may help you cope with joint pain in the short-term, they also contribute to joint damage and play a central role in continuing a vicious long-term cycle of chronic illness.

The common behavior of habitually taking NSAIDs (and other similar behaviors) is why so many people are walking around with what can be referred to as “FLC syndrome.”

That’s short for “Feel Like Crap syndrome.”

And regardless of how common FLC syndrome may be, you don’t have to accept it. It’s not normal and it’s not something you deserve to endure.

It should be obvious that a paradigm shift is desperately needed in order to turn this whole sick care system into one that actually supports health.

I’m just one doctor in this movement to create that kind of change, but there are many others like me with the same goal.

We want to empower you to help change the future of medicine by taking your health into your own hands and standing up for all the things that are right with you, rather than just treating symptoms of what’s wrong.

Summary

If you’re interested in optimizing your health and finding a doctor willing to help you get there, I’d be happy to help.
